I have a small record collection, including some from Miles Davis, McCoy Tyner, Gerry Mulligan, Theloneous Monk, etc., and some older stuff going back to Fats Domino on the old '78's... So anyway, I was in Best Buy about a year ago or so, looking for a new record player (which they do still sell, amazingly enough) that I could hook into my stereo receiver. But when I asked if they had any that played 78's, the clerk adamantly insisted that 78 was never a record speed, only speeds were ever 33/45/16, and that I must be confused.

Of course that doesn't beat the time my wife's nephew was hanging out at our place, had to call his mom for a ride home, and came back out of our bedroom with a confused look on his face - had no idea how to use a rotary phone! Hah!
